Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

South AfricaA kitchen dustbin would be a very good idea. We didn't feel good leaving the garbage on the counter. We arrived at night and found it difficult to see house numbers and driveway access.
Really loved the location. It's a bit of town but right on the edge of the natural forest with a glorious sea view. A car is necessary. It's very private and has everything necessary for a comfortable stay. the host had made the effort to put in an extra bed as it is advertised as having a sleeper couch on booking.com. We were very grateful for that. The host has all the basics there- tea/coffee/ milk/salt/pepper etc. It really helps! Loved having the cat move in with us and the occasional visit from the dog.

United StatesWe loved EVERYTHING about our stay at Froggy Farm Self Catering. The reviews were good, so our expectations were high, but Gareth’s amazing hospitality, and this beautiful, peaceful, well appointed cottage still blew us away. We felt welcomed and well cared for from the moment we arrived, the space was sparkling clean and is stylishly decorated. The kitchen is basic but has all the essentials to enjoy a morning coffee on site or whip up a quick brekkie if you stop for groceries. Ima, the resident kitty kept us company as we sat on the lovely ocean view deck enjoying a glass of wine at the end of our days of adventuring. Gareth gave us great tips on where to eat and what to check out in the area. If you’re staying in Simon’s Town, there’s no better spot!

Froggy Farm is in a lovely spot a short drive from Simonstown. We were in the area unexpectedly so didn't really have chance to use the facilities here, but the room was perfect - clean/comfortable and well equipped.

United KingdomThe location was great exactly where we wanted to be with the added bonus being the property backed onto a large field/forest a really gorgeous and peaceful environment enabling easy walking access to the main road. The host Gareth - was always ready to assist going above and beyond any expectations. The hosts have a lovely woman working for them, Sookie (sp) who was also always willing to assist and provide advice if required. They have a very friendly cat, Ima, who would visit us for long periods of time she was very sociable and welcome. We managed to see 2 adult porcupines one evening in the garden, although the sighting was fleeting it was incredible as both my husband and I had not seen one before - they are really pretty large. A real bonus was the availability of wifi during the current SA crisis of Loadshedding - it really made those times less bleak and we were able to use the time more constructively. All in all we loved our stay and we look forward to one day re-visiting the property for another.

NetherlandsSpacious, clean apartment that has everything you need. The garden is beautiful and offers great ocean views. Lots of wildlife around and nice outdoor seating areas. Wifi is good, and continues to work well even during load shedding. Location is excellent, in a quiet and safe neighbourhood but with the center of Simons Town and the penguin beach just a few minutes away by car. A short walk brings you to top notch snorkeling at Windmill Beach, and Cape point national park is only a 15 min drive away. Gareth is a great host, super friendly, accessible and happy to share local knowledge.
